Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

archive scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

TASK ARCHIVING PROTOCOL

TL;DR: After completing a task, archive it in completed_tasks.md with Implementation Results, Completed Testing, Lessons Learned, and Documentation Updates sections. Cross-link in progress.md and activeContext.md.

📁 ARCHIVE SETUP

At project start:

  1. Create docs/archive/ directory
  2. Create completed_tasks.md with only this header:
    # Completed Tasks
    
  3. Don't add placeholder text like "No tasks completed yet"

📋 ARCHIVE FORMAT

For each completed task, use this exact format:

## Task: [Task Name] (v1.0)
Last Updated: YYYY-MM-DD

### Implementation Results
[What was implemented]

### Completed Testing
[How it was tested]

### Lessons Learned
[Key insights gained]

### Documentation Updates
[Memory Bank files updated]

See examples: archive-examples.mdc

🔄 CROSS-LINKING

After archiving, create these cross-links:

In progress.md:

## Completed Tasks
- [Task Name] - Completed on YYYY-MM-DD, see [archive entry](mdc:../docs/archive/completed_tasks.md#task-task-name-v10)

In activeContext.md:

## Recent Completions
- [Task Name] has been completed and archived. Next focus is on [Next Task].

✅ ARCHIVE CHECKLIST

Verify these items for every archive:

  • docs/archive directory exists
  • completed_tasks.md exists with proper header
  • Archive entry includes:
    • Task name with (v1.0) version
    • Date in YYYY-MM-DD format
    • All four required sections
  • No placeholder text remains
  • progress.md updated with archive link
  • activeContext.md updated with completion note

🔍 SECTION REQUIREMENTS

  1. Implementation Results

    • List specific features implemented
    • Note any deviations from original plan
    • Mention technologies used
  2. Completed Testing

    • Describe testing methods used
    • Note test results and coverage
    • Mention any edge cases tested

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
